[plug] Redhat 7.3 /Knopix Question

Upgrade to debian? (Just kidding!!!!) Does LinuxWA have an insensible disk 3
ISO that's being farmed out?

Oh, btw I just tested out KNOPPIX and I am *blown away*.
I noticed it's a debian based thing (IE has apt-get pointing to deb
sources).
Does anyone know if it's feasable to install as a base debian install on a
HD
and point the source.lists to UWA. That'd make a mega-simple debian install
wit' the evermagikal apt-get at base?
